Summary: Darius uses external artificial intelligence services to power several core features. This document explains what AI services we use, what data is sent to them, and how you can control your data.
Darius integrates the following third-party AI services:
| Provider | Service | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic | Claude API (Sonnet / Haiku) | AI chat, article summarization, article Q&A, in-app help |
| OpenAI | Embeddings API | Semantic search across news articles (RAG) |
When you use the chat feature, the following is sent to Anthropic's Claude API:
Not sent: Your name, email, user ID, or any account identifiers.
When you open an article summary or ask a question about an article:
Article content is converted into numerical embeddings via OpenAI's API. These embeddings are mathematical representations that cannot be reverse-engineered back into the original text. No user data is sent for embedding generation.
| Provider | Data Retention | Training Use |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic (Claude) | API inputs are not stored beyond request processing (per Anthropic's API terms) | API data is not used to train models |
| OpenAI | API inputs are retained for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring (per OpenAI's API terms) | API data is not used to train models (data usage policy for API) |

In addition to user-initiated features, Darius uses AI in the following automated processes:
These automated processes do not use any personal user data.
Darius requests your permission before any tracking across apps or websites owned by other companies. You can change this permission at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
We will update this disclosure when we add new AI providers, change how data is processed, or when AI providers update their data handling policies. Material changes will be communicated through the App.
